Persian (Farsi) term or phrase: ظرفیت‌های نمایشی
Hi,

Here is the (rather long) sentence:
خوشبختانه سنت خوبی در سریال‌سازی تلویزیون در حال شکل‌گیری است که مرکز ثقل داستان را از پایتخت و زندگی‌های آپارتمانی به سمت مناطق دیگری از سرزمین پهناور ایران سوق داده و از ظرفیت‌های نمایشی که در بافت جغرافیایی و فرهنگی قومیت‌های مختلف وجود دارد، بهره‌برداری می‌کند.

How do you feel about translating ظرفیت‌ها as "potential"? Only a suggestion.

Best, and many thanks,

Simon

dramatic potential


Explanation:
another option...I think "dramatic" is better than "cinematic" for نمایشی

We could also use "dramatic capacity"
